Default Fail to install Display Drivers in my WinXP

Hi there,
I have already installed WINXP in my machine. After that, I've used my
provided Acer distribution cd to install VGA so that I can have fine display
when I watch my vcds. AFter intalling all that still the color is worst and
when I watch any of vcd, they looks so worse!!! When I look at my computer
settings, I find that there are only two colors. i.e 16bit and 32bit.
Any one with help on this will be apprecited!!!

Regards,

Comfort.

You might consider the original CD probably did not have XP drivers. Go to the
manufacturer's web site and look around for XP drivers.

Two color choices: medium quality (16bit capable of showing ~64,000 colors)
and high (32bit covers ~16 million). You should be able to view video
adequately with either of those.

Does the adapter work well with other multimedia content?

You may be looking at the limitations of your hardware. Offer some more
details about the hardware involved and some of the hardware gurus will
surely pop up with ideas about how to improve the display.

Update the video drivers from the manufacturer's website. Alternatively, if
you run Windows Update and choose the Custom option, you may see a hardware
update available and that would likely be the video adaptor. Nevertheless,
the manufacturer's website will have later updates than WU.
